PHILADELPHIA – Southeastern Pennsylvania will enjoy two picture-perfect fall days before rain moves in late Sunday, ending the region’s sun-filled stretch. After a cool, crisp Thursday morning, skies remain clear and winds light — ideal weather for commuters, weekend events, and fall foliage outings.
According to the National Weather Service in Mount Holly, Thursday and Friday will bring highs in the low 60s with cool, comfortable air flowing in from the north. Winds may gust up to 20 mph early Thursday before calming by evening. Saturday stays mostly sunny with a high near 66°F, making it the best day for outdoor plans across the Philadelphia metro, including trips along I-76 and the Benjamin Franklin Parkway.
Conditions will change Sunday as a warm front pushes east, bringing clouds and increasing rain chances after sunset. The NWS pegs the chance of precipitation at 70% Sunday night, with scattered showers likely to dampen late travel along I-95 and I-295. Light rain continues into early Monday before clearing, leaving behind cooler, drier air to start the workweek.
Fall enthusiasts should take advantage of Thursday through Saturday for decorating, pumpkin patch visits, or fall leaf viewing. Next week’s highs will fall back into the mid-60s, with bright but brisk afternoons expected.
